There's nothing else positive about it. I'm so disappointed. What should I do about these blemishes?
ConsOh no... The day after using this, I got a red blemish on my nose and small bumps on my chin. This was literally the only new product I added to my routine, so it's definitely the culprit. I thought the ingredients looked fine, but now it's just awful. I don't think I can use this anymore... I have nothing else to say about it.
TipI really have nothing more to add...

ConsI heard AHA and BHA can be harsh, so I ordered this PHA hoping it would be gentler... I applied it on my forehead, T-zone, and nose in the evening, followed by a moisturizer. The next day, the dead skin cells around my nose were out of control. I hadn't been getting many small bumps lately, but after using this, something popped up - either small bumps or rough texture. My nose turned red like Rudolph's, and my skin felt uncomfortably itchy. Looking at the ingredients, I think it's either the ethanol, aloe, or one of the top ingredients causing irritation. Instead of improving my skin, it made it drier and rougher. It had no soothing effect on me at all. I have combination dehydrated skin, so heavy creams give me blemishes. I stopped using this ampoule because I was worried it would make my skin even drier. My mom has extremely dry skin, so she can't use it either... we're at a loss. Also, there's a problem with using it - the dropper doesn't dispense the ampoule well.
TipRecommended for those with very oily skin who aren't sensitive. Not recommended for sensitive combination dehydrated skin. If you have dry skin, use plenty of moisturizer after applying the ampoule.

ConsNiacinamide? It doesn't seem to agree with my skin. I had some blemishes around my mouth, probably due to PMS, stress, or fatigue. After applying this, my skin seems to have completely flared up. I had a similar reaction to Number's Toner No. 3 before, so I thought it might be the fermented ingredients. But now I suspect it's the niacinamide in whitening products that's causing issues for me.
TipThere's not much to say... The ampoule is tiny and cute, but it's hard to get the product out. The dropper doesn't pick up the liquid well. This needs improvement.

It's a unique touch that allows you to personalize your skincare item, which I've never experienced before. I started using it on April 1st and continued until April 10th. When I first received it, my skin had visible blackheads. Now, while there's still some sebum on my nose, it's no longer visibly dark. The fragrance-free formula is great for those sensitive to scents, and it feels gentle on the skin. Compared to my initial skin condition, I feel like my complexion has brightened a bit. The product absorbs well. It has a slightly runny texture that's easy to apply to the face. It absorbs quickly too. At first, it feels a bit sticky, but it soon sinks into the skin, leaving it feeling soft and smooth.
ConsThe hydration power is a bit weak. When used alone, it feels like something's missing from your face - as if the moisture isn't properly locked in. I continued using it alone for the sake of this review, but after absorption, my skin felt dry if left for a while. I didn't have any noticeable blemishes before, just the occasional one here and there. But after switching to this product, I developed about 5 large blemishes and some smaller ones around my nose area. (This could be just my experience, so please take it as a reference only.) While the amount you get is decent for the price, considering long-term use, the quantity feels a bit lacking. I've barely used it, but it's already running out.
TipI think it works well as a soothing mask if you chill the serum slightly and apply it with a thin cotton pad. Since it's not very moisturizing on its own, make sure to use it with other products for proper hydration.

I applied it every morning and evening after toner Packaging: The box includes decorative stickers, which adds a cute and fresh touch Container: The dropper-type bottle makes it easy to use and control the amount Texture: Transparent and not too runny, similar to a nasal mucus consistency Application: Spreads smoothly and doesn't evaporate immediately after application, leaving a pleasantly firm feeling on the skin
ConsScent: Due to the alcohol content, there's a subtle scent that might not appeal to those with super sensitive skin Hydration: After several hours, I felt some deep dryness Soothing effect: Unfortunately, it didn't work well for me. After about 3 uses, the acne on my chin worsened. At first, I thought it might be due to wearing a mask, but when other areas also flared up, I had to stop using it.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThis is a gentle ampoule with a runny texture. Without it, my skin feels dry, but when applied, it absorbs quickly and leaves my skin hydrated. It doesn't feel sticky or leave any residue, finishing with a fresh feel.
ConsHowever, for extremely dry skin, it might not provide enough hydration as it's quite light. Also, unlike AHA/BHA products that can cause a tingling sensation, this one doesn't irritate at all, which is great, but it made me wonder if it's actually effective. I noticed some small bumps after using this. I'm not sure if it's because of this product or another one I recently changed in my routine.

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsAlthough it's only 15ml and seemed small with little product, you can spread it widely with a small amount, so you don't need to apply a lot. I really liked that aspect. There's almost no scent, but there's a very faint smell somewhere between weak rubbing alcohol and soda. However, since it's nearly fragrance-free, even those sensitive to scents should be able to use it well. The absorption is decent, and it applies nicely. Originally, my sebum was protruding from my pores, making the surface of my nose rough, but using this seems to have improved that issue significantly. If you apply too much at once, it absorbs slowly and feels like it's sitting on top of the skin. So, if you apply it thinly, it should absorb well into the skin. The surface of my nose, at least, seems to have become smoother.
ConsI don't usually get blemishes easily, but for some reason, I developed acne while using this. Both small bumps and regular pimples appeared, which made me wonder why... So, it might not suit everyone. Please keep that in mind. My skin is combination type, but everyone's skin can react differently to products, so I recommend checking the ingredients and trying it out for yourself.
TipOverall, I applied it thinly, and on areas with more sebum like the nose and chin, I applied it once more in a thin layer while rolling. This made my skin texture smoother.

I've been using this serum for about 2 weeks since receiving it. First off, the packaging is absolutely adorable. It even came with stickers, which was a fun surprise - I enjoyed putting them on! As for the product itself, it has a transparent, gel-like texture. When applied to the face, it initially feels like it might sit on top of the skin, but it quickly absorbs. I love that it absorbs without any stickiness, making it very comfortable to use.
ConsWhile it does leave a fresh finish, I experienced some deep dryness afterwards. As someone with combination dehydrated skin, I found this aspect a bit disappointing. Due to the dryness, I tried layering it under a snail cream, but this made my skin feel congested. Consequently, I noticed some blemishes trying to surface the next day, which was quite unfortunate.
TipThis might be great for those with combination dehydrated skin during the summer months!

At first, there was a slight tingling sensation when I applied it. Since I'm reviewing this product, I didn't use it with any other products. I applied it during the day, but by night, I noticed some pink spots appearing on my cheeks. Usually, if something doesn't suit me, I stop using it immediately, but since I won this, I decided to give it another try. This product is really lightweight, absorbs well, and has a nice texture. I liked that, but sure enough, my face felt a bit tingly the second time I used it too... Fortunately, nothing else appeared on my face! +When I woke up in the morning, my face was completely irritated and itchy to the point where it was unbearable... My skin is very dry, desert-like, and I think this product alone won't be enough for soft skin, but it might work well if used with other products! I'm writing this for those with similar skin types to mine, and even if others with similar skin types had good experiences, this is just how it was for me! If you're considering it, please think twice! // In the application photo, there's some redness on my hand, but that's from a lip tint swatch test!
Cons- Mysterious redness and blemishes appeared on face - Tingling sensation when applying

Reviews by The Hwahae Testers undergo the same strict verification process as regular reviews, and if they don't meet our standards, revisions will be requested.ProsThe Hwahae Testers review: Before using, my skin condition: Only had pustular, inflammatory blemishes on my T-zone and sides of my nose (regardless of the previous content, my skin had improved in recent weeks with almost no blemishes). Oily skin (slightly combination dehydrated), with the U-zone rarely having issues. Packaging: The tiny green ampoule bottle inside the small box is incredibly cute! Plus, there are stickers inside the box that you can apply. I immediately plastered the bottle with stickers on the day it arrived... Maybe I went overboard, but I'm satisfied! Texture: Slightly thick? It has a consistency like dense mucus that doesn't run. Application: It doesn't feel heavy when applied. I'd say it goes on lightly. Hydration: When used alone, it feels dry, so you might need to use it with other products. Exfoliation: I'm not sure if it has an exfoliating effect, but when I first tested it on my neck, my skin felt very smooth. I couldn't really tell when I applied it to my face though.
ConsAfter use: My skin had been in good condition recently with no issues, but since using this, the vicious cycle has started again. Painful inflammatory and pustular blemishes have appeared around my nose, causing stress again. I rarely get anything on my cheeks, but since using this, I feel like something is trying to surface on my cheeks and chin. It seems that even LHA is too harsh for my sensitive skin. I can't deny that this product is causing the blemishes since they're appearing only where I applied it. I didn't apply it on my nose, but I did on the area around it, cheeks, chin, and forehead. It slightly touched the left side of my nose, and now I have blemishes on my cheeks, around my nose, chin, and left nostril. I thought it would work well for me since other people's reviews were good, but... Well... I know skincare is different for everyone, but it's sad to see my recently recovered skin damaged again. I used this together with my sister who has a similar skin type and blemish-prone areas, and she's also getting blemishes everywhere except her forehead. I guess I'll have to go back to my previous skincare routine to restore my skin...
